  2. Network congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion

    Network congestion in data networking and queueing theory is the reduced quality of service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle. Typical effects include queueing delay , packet loss or the blocking of new connections.

  3. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    It is a reactive measure employed in communication networks to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion. Bandwidth throttling can occur at different locations on the network. On a local area network , a system administrator ("sysadmin") may employ bandwidth throttling to help limit network congestion and server crashes. On a ...

  4. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is either caused by errors in data transmission, typically across wireless networks, [1] [2] or network congestion. [3]: 36 Packet loss is measured as a percentage of packets lost with respect to packets sent.

  5. Internet bottleneck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bottleneck

    In terms of public policy, Internet bottlenecks and/or network congestion has largely been nested within the network neutrality debate. Network neutrality is the notion that ISPs and content providers need to be regulated in order to maintain fair speeds and access to content for all Internet users.

  6. Network traffic control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_traffic_control

    In computer networking, network traffic control is the process of managing, controlling or reducing the network traffic, particularly Internet bandwidth, e.g. by the network scheduler. [1] It is used by network administrators, to reduce congestion, latency and packet loss. This is part of bandwidth management.

  7. Bufferbloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

    The two types of solutions are often complementary. The problem sometimes arrives with a combination of fast and slow network paths. Network solutions generally take the form of queue management algorithms. This type of solution has been the focus of the IETF AQM working group. [16] Notable examples include: Limiting the IP queue length, see ...

  8. TCP global synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_global_synchronization

    TCP global synchronization in computer networks is a pattern of each sender decreasing and increasing transmission rates at the same time as other senders. It can happen to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flows during periods of congestion because each sender will reduce their transmission rate at the same time when packet loss occurs.

  9. TCP tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_tuning

    In computer networking, RWIN (TCP Receive Window) is the amount of data that a computer can accept without acknowledging the sender. If the sender has not received acknowledgement for the first packet it sent, it will stop and wait and if this wait exceeds a certain limit, it may even retransmit .
